Throughout his life, Jigoro Kano worked continuously for the diffusion, promotion and improvement of the ́Kodokan Judo ́.Since its founding in 1882 as a modern and evolved system of Ju-Jitsu, Kano provided not only an extensive technical curriculum, but also a philosophical approach, which made Kodokan Judo somewhat different from the warrior arts of the past. There are many documents currently available to the judo enthusiast, and it is relatively easy to get a general idea of Master Kano's thinking. But there are old writings, phrases, tips, maxims and proverbs that are hardly known today, unknown to most, all of them written directly by Jigoro Kano, where we learn through his thoughts the traditional principles of Kodokan Judo, competition, techniques of self-defense, social and family relations, proper time use and ultimately how to be useful in society among many other aspects. We have had the opportunity to gather all this material and through this work we have put it to the full service for all lovers of martial arts. We also include photos of the founding master of Kodokan Judo, some of them unpublished. Desiring that this work is to your liking, we recommend you to carefully read each sentence, each line and each paragraph, then you will perceive the enormous capacity and richness of the thoughts of a man who was ahead of his time to leave us as a legacy this beautiful art: Kodokan Judo.

This book is a collection of the life's work and essential teachings of Jigoro Kano, who founded Kodokan Judo in Tokyo in 1882. Kodokan Judo was for Kano the culmination of a lifelong devotion to the jujutsu of the past, which he reorganized along educational lines while taking great care to retain its classical traditions. In doing so, he opened the path from jutsu (skill) to do (way), and broadened the horizons of knowledge until he reached the point at which he began to advocate seiryoku zenyo (maximum efficiency) and jita kyoei (mutual prosperity), which represent the universality and ideal of human existence, and are the core values of judo.

Written by the founder of Kodokan judo, Jigoro Kano, this text explains theriginal concepts and techniques of judo in detail.

A martial arts biography of the legednary founder of judo, Jigoro Kano, and the colorful coterie of disciples who wanted to carry on his legacy Kodokan judo, one of the most well-known martial arts in the world today, was originated by Jigoro Kano (1860–1938), a martial artist and career educator who developed the art after studying several types of jujutsu, sumo, and Western wrestling. Openness and refinement were hallmarks of his personal and professional style, and he relentlessly searched for the best way to practice, teach, and perform techniques. This biography shows how Kano saw judo as a vehicle not just for self-defense, but for physical, spiritual, and moral development as well. His teachings clearly emphasize his ideal of judo as a way of self-cultivation that leads to physical health, ethical behavior, and ultimately a better society. Kano was a tireless activist who promoted the practical application of judo’s principles in all realms of life—in one’s personal behavior, for education, in work, for economic benefit, and in both the local and international political arenas. Kano’s students were a colorful, sometimes notorious bunch, and this book reveals how several went on to become famous—or infamous—in their own right. They include a prime minister of Japan, the leader of the Communist party in China, a famous novelist, a spy, high-level military leaders, and a media mogul, among many others.

Based on a series of interviews that Jigoro Kano gave in his sixties, the book relates his creation and development of Kodokan judo during the period 1882 to 1928.

As first teaching lesson in Judo begins with the fundamentals of Judo, I also thought to write book on Judo after teaching judo for more than 32 years to university level judo players. The Judo fundamentals are to be taught to any beginner for making his base strong, so that he/ she may be able to train himself or herself for international competitions in a better way after understanding the basic fundamentals. The teaching of fundamentals of Judo should receive great attention and importance by the Indian coaches. I have made sincere effort to enrich its content incorporating the latest information available with print and electronic media on various aspects of the fundamentals of Judo. The language being used is simple for better understanding of beginners and students of Physical Education undergoing professional courses of physical education in India.

The best guide to learning jiu-jitsu ever written in English, this is the most comprehensive study available. It describes the authentic form of judo developed in the late 19th century by Professor Jiguro Kano — not the many imitations often called by this name. Officially recognized by the Japanese government as the preeminent school of jiu-jitsu, the Kano system was the method in which Japanese armed forces and police were trained. The complete system of 160 holds and throws is clearly explained, with 487 photographs and four charts providing further clarification. Pressure points, balance, falling, and every other important aspect receives full and complete treatment. The first section presents 60 "tricks" of combat in strict sequence that prepare for part two, in which readers learn how to apply the advantages of the tricks they've learned. The third section deals with highly scientific tricks of combat, by which an opponent may be incapacitated — and the methods of kuatsu, or resuscitation, by which a fallen opponent may be revived. Martial arts students at every level of experience will find this classic guide a source of valuable information and instruction.

Jigoro Kano (right; in 1870 at age ten) was small as a child, which gave rise to his determination to study jujutsu. In his early twenties, he combined the best of what he had assimilated and founded modern judo. A professor at the age of twenty-five, he played an important educational role in transforming Japan from a country ruled by the samurai into a modern nation.
